Bomb sandwiches! Super helpful and friendly staff. I love the set up in here. The seating is conducive for peer lunches or dining for one. It is an open floor layout and has cool artwork.
The sandwiches are made with quality ingredients on soft, fresh bread. I would have given them 5 stars if they had not given me the wrong sandwich. Although the "wrong" sandwich was delicious I still wanted the one I ordered gosh darn it!
Annoying and confusing ordering system. Seriously, there are lines for each type of food (salad, sandwich, pastries, etc) they have. Even the Penn Station location isn't as complicated and there's more people coming in and out of there, supposedly.
I ordered one of my favorite sandwiches, the Emma, and it felt a lot thinner than what I'd usually get at the Penn Station location. By the time I went up to the register, the cashier was really odd. Her mind was just lost and somewhere else, and she even rotated with another team member in the middle of my transaction…WTH! I know they're trying to keep up with the separate lines system that pretty much most food places in FiDi have adapted, but it is absolutely the worst and most of the time, disorderly. Wasn't a filling sandwich as I'd have liked, but sadly, this is the only Lenny's closest to my job.
Clean airy open areas to sit in decent chairs. Solid tuna sandwich. Decent place for quick sandwich.
Add Lenwich by Lenny's to the famous Lennys short list which consists only of Lenny (and Carl) from the Simpsons, Lenny from Of Mice and Men, and Kravitz. The Lenwich is a concerto of corned beef and hot pastrami, scintillating Swiss, crunchy 'slaw and minimally dressed in Russian. You have the option of different sized breads dependent on your hangry levels.
Sometimes Yelp does the work for me:
"Eek! Methinks not."
That sums up Lenny's.
A few co-workers said I should check it out. So using less judgment than I should have I made the long walk on a nice day. The inside itself is visually appealing enough. I went at 2pm but it is obviously made to deal with the cattle cars of arriving light blue shirts that hit sometime around noon. They do the whole order here, pick up here, pay here thing with a buzzer that I think is wholly overkill. Regardless it took them 10 minutes to make my sandwich when it was dead empty.
I ordered "The Big Daddy" on a whole wheat roll. The big daddy was over $9 after taxes, woefully small, and apparently contained: "Grilled Steak, Avocado, Melted Fresh Mozzarella, Crispy Onion, Roasted Red Peppers & Sriracha". All I tasted was dried out steak-umm and red peppers. Hell, the diet pepsi max I was drinking with it had a more distinct flavor.
Never again.
Listen the salad guys are top marks, always greeting you with a smile and a helping hand. I've had good and bad experiences here with the sandwiches. More than once I've waited easily 15 minutes for a sandwich and sometimes I get it right away. I think it can depend on the type of sandwich and the time you get there. That being said it is a go to joint for lunch in a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of options.
Lenny's is the best sandwich chain in New York City… This new location boasts an enormous dining room with blasting air conditioning, clean bathrooms, buzz for pick-up system, and outdoor seating. The menu is the same, bigger and better sandwiches than nearby shoppes for the same price. Try the Emma on a hero or the smoked chicken deluxe on marble rye… I'll be back as long as they keep packing their sandwiches with flavor and prepping lunches at lightning speed!
I am glad this place uses the levelup app (yay for discounts!) and is near the office.
For those who, like me, want to check out nutritional information before going somewhere for the first time, or want to check what is really in what they are ordering, I really, REALLY like that they have nutritional information online.
I can see why some of the reviewers mentioned confusion as to the layout etc.
I usually just come here for salad, which is ordered and paid for at one side of the room.
They also have other counters for ordering, plus another counter for payment, and when it is the lunch rush you can't see the signs right away.
As for the food – the price is pretty standard for the area – about $9 for one of their specialty salads. The staff is pretty accommodating about switching out ingredients for others that are the same price. (Most of these salads are cheaper this way instead of building your own with the same amount of ingredients.)
Today I had a sandwich for the first time – the vegetarian – which was really good! It was on the low end of the price and calorie count because I had it on wheat bread, instead of a hero or wrap or whatever the other options were. My one gripe with the sandwich, which you can see in the picture – the avocado is the most filling item between the breads but it isn't applied (is that the right term?) from one side to the other.
There were some bites without any avocado and, by the end bites with not much of anything.
